Summary of Work Experience
Over four years of experience in the oil and gas industry as a field engineer. Background
training includes many facets of the energy industry, mainly focusing on well completions.
Started out working an intense five month training session with equipment operators before
performing duties related to the technical side of hydraulic fracturing. Transitioned into the
technical side by designing well completion fluids and treatment programs, executing jobs on
well sites safely with exceptional service quality, and making sure to eliminate waste along the
way. Spread knowledge to others by training fluid technicians and many engineers to perform
these same duties. Managed wellsite assets to perform the preliminary field billing, and assisted
accounting staff during invoice auditing. Self-taught Microsoft VBA scripting language to
improve our documentation and reporting procedures, increasing process automation and
decreasing time completing repetitive tasks, in some instances reducing task times by as much
as fifty percent.
Job Objective
To gain a position in with a great company where I can be an effective team member, and utilize
my skills to help the organization reach its goals.
